So the report on autobackups show all completed OK ... no errors AND you've elected to save the backups to the default area ... which is in moodledata/filedir/ - somewhere.
When going to a course that was backed up, one is expecting to see the autobackups listed when clicking restore and they are not there.
That right so far?
Do you have access to anything that will allow you to query your DB outside of Moodle? (something like PHPMyAdmin or other MySQL (assuming you are running MySQL ... that info not shared).
If you do, let's see if the database knows of those backup files existence with the following query:
select contenthash,filename,filesize from `mdl_files` where (`filearea` like "backup" and `filename` like "%.mbz%")
That should show, in filename column, names *like* this:
backup-moodle2-course-261-soc-20131220-1236.mbz
The contenthash column actually tells you where the file is located. Let's say the above backup file had the following for the contenthash:
c3e4ba471441b6cd9572caa1f774f52f99eca66c
The file should be in:
moodledata/filedir/c3/e4/
NOTE: the c3 directory and contained therein an e4 directory.
and it's name is:
c3e4ba471441b6cd9572caa1f774f52f99eca66c
Are the files there?
Check apache error logs for any clues if they are not.
